Health officials have issued the highest travel warning to South Korea.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a level 3 -- "Avoid Nonessential Travel" -- warning for those planning to visit South Korea on Monday night.
While the U.S. government has not issued a "do not travel" advisory like it did for those planning a trip to China, CDC recommends that travelers avoid all nonessential travel to South Korea.
According to the Associated Press, South Korea has the second-most cases with 60 reported Tuesday morning, bringing its total to 893. China has the most cases with a little more than 77,000 cases as of Monday night, according to AP.
